John Lyon has previously edited Conrad's Youth/Heart of Darkness/The End of the Tether for Penguin Twentieth Century Classics, and novels by Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and D. H. Lawrence.
'An impenetrable mystery seems destined to hang for ever over this act of madness or despair.' Mr Verloc, the secret agent, keeps a shop in London's Soho where he lives with his wife Winnie, her infirm mother, and her idiot brother, Stevie. When Verloc is reluctantly involved in an anarchist plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory things go disastrously wrong, and what appears to be 'A Simple Tale' proves to involve politicians, policemen, foreign diplomats and London's fashionable society in the darkest and most surprising interrelations. Based on the text which Conrad's first English readers enjoyed, this new edition includes a critical introduction which describes Conrad's great London novel as the realization of a 'monstrous town', a place of idiocy, madness, criminality, and butchery.
It's ironic because it suppose to be serious but it's anything but serious. The absurdity and uselessness of the revolutionists, futility of political conspiracy. Conrad's works are not like Orwell, whose works are very clear-cut and readers can immediately...

跟翁達傑的in the skin of a lion很像啊。字麵上講的是關於無政府主義和terrorism的“一個簡單的故事”,但裏麵的無政府主義者們基本沒有任何威脅性,我讀到的感覺是,人作為孤立的個體在資本主義體係中無比脆弱,隻能用瘋狂和絕望與之對抗,盡管荒唐無效但實則有力。
评分也就是康拉德瞭,能把公務員生活寫齣史詩的感覺來。Verloc某種程度上其實是另一個Lord Jim,一個被現代生活捲入但是成不瞭現代人的舊時代生物。

评分我驚嘆的是意義,和前半部分的語言。
